Opportunity Alert: Brexit Impact on EMEA Trading

Dear Manager,

We wish to inform you of some important corrections. The following updated items in the list of changes coming into effect on January 4, 2021.

CBOE UK on PPro8: traders will continue to have access to the BXE (aka BATS) and CXE (aka CHIX) books on LSE, LSE IOB, and Swiss (CBOE UK on Swiss securities is delayed, with an ETA in late January).

The CHXE gateway will be renamed to CBOX and will grant access to the CXE Lit and Dark books, while the BATE gateway will be renamed to BXE and will grant access to the BXE Lit and Dark books.”

The CHIXE (Chi-X Europe) entitlement package will be renamed to CBOE, and traders who have this package enabled will be able to receive the CXE, BXE, and the new DXE book feeds. The fee for this package will increase to 65 GBP.

Traders will need to re-apply their CBOE and TRQS entitlements to receive the BXE and TQE feeds.

EMEA Markets Short Sell Restrictions Lifted [May 2020]

Please be advised that EMEA securities regulators have jointly decided to end their short-selling bans, citing less turbulent market conditions.

• Brussels
• Madrid
• Milan
• Paris
• Vienna

For more information, please read the MarketWatch article on the topic.

Remember, you can request shorts on IRC (in the #shorts channel), via email (to Trade Desk), and in Metro (Pay For Short Management process).

Traders can select the respective sweep destinations under the primary gateways. The new destinations are parallel to the existing primary destinations, except aggressive orders sent through these destinations will sweep all Lit and Dark liquidity and guarantee the best possible fill price.

Available destinations are as follows:

CH	SWX	Swiss Sweep	All Dark → All LIT MTFs and Primary → Post the remaining order to the Primary Market
MA	XMAD	Madrid Sweep
PA	ERNX	PARIS Sweep
LS	ERNX	LISBON Sweep

AS	ERNX	AMSTERDAM Sweep
LO	LSE	LSE Sweep

CO	NORX	COPENHAGEN Sweep
DE	XETR	XETRA Sweep
MI	MILA	MILAN Sweep
VI	XWBO	Vienna Sweep
PL	XWAR	Warsaw Sweep

Note: the gateway fee will be the fee for the gateway where the execution took place.
